    This document provides a selection guide for stainless steel types, listing their typical compositions, properties, forms, weldability, and relative costs. It describes various austenitic stainless steels including types 304, 304L, 316, 316L, and 321, which are commonly used for applications such as chemical and food processing equipment, tanks, vessels, exhaust manifolds, and boilers due to their corrosion resistance and strength at higher temperatures. Mechanical properties such as tensile yield strength, elongation and hardness are listed for each type in both annealed and welded conditions.
